The PS501 combines a high-performance, low-power Microchip PIC18 microcontroller core together with proprietary monitoring/control algorithms and 3D cell models stored in 16 Kbytes of on-chip reprogrammable Flash memory. Analog resources include a 16-bit sigma-delta integrating A/D and mixed signal circuitry for precision measurement of battery current, temperature and voltage. On-chip EEPROM is provided for storage of user customizable and “learned” battery parameters. An industry standard 2-wire SMBus interface supports host communication using standard SBData commands and status. Additional integrated features include a high accuracy on-chip oscillator and temperature sensor. Twelve general purpose pins support charge or safety control or user programmable digital I/O. Eight of them can be used as LED drivers and two are open drain for direct FET drive.
A complete starter kit and development system for the 8-bit and 32-bit AVR® microcontrollers that gives designers a quick start to develop code on the AVR, with advanced features for prototyping and testing new designs.
The AVR device connects to the STK600 using an innovative routing and socketcard sandwich system, which routes the signals from the device to the appropriate...
